Line 392:
** In ''Terminator 2,'' Sarah Connor is called "29 years old" in an APB. Since her son (conceived in the first movie) is now 10 (played by 14 year old Edward Furlong). She would have been 19 at the most in the first movie. Linda Hamilton would have been 28 at the time.
*** [[All There in the Manual|According to the]] [[Novelization]], this is exactly right - the first section to focus on (the right) Sarah gives her age as 19.
* ''[[Battlestar Galactica (2004 TV series)|Battlestar Galactica]]'':
**
**
** For that matter, the fact that she was cast could be considered an [[Inverted Trope|inversion of this trope]]: the original script for the miniseries described Starbuck as being in her thirties. Katee was 22 when she tried out for the part and eventually got it, despite initial objections from the casting directors that she was too young.▼
* Actress Rachel True played teenagers when she was in her early 30s and young twenty-somethings when she was in her late 30s to early 40s.
** In ''[[Half Baked]]'', at 32, she's girlfriend to 25 year old Dave Chappelle. Of course, her character's age isn't given, and this editor doesn't see why he couldn't date a chick seven years older than him, especially as Hollywood does the inversion of that ''all the fucking time''.
Line 719 ⟶ 722:
* ''[[Freaks and Geeks]]'' had a good percentage of its cast close to or of the high school age (24-year-old Linda Cardellini and 21-year-old [[James Franco]] being exceptions). John Francis Daley, playing a very small and scrawny 14-year-old, was the same age as his character.
** Also, in ''[[Bones]]'', in which a now 24-year-old John Francis Daley plays 24-year-old [[Replacement Scrappy|wunderkind]] psychologist Lance Sweets.
▲* In ''[[Battlestar Galactica Reimagined]]'', Kara "Starbuck" Thrace is about 28–29 years old by the end of the third season, going by a reference to her having graduated from the military academy six years previously. [[Katee Sackhoff]], the actress who played Kara, was only 26 at the time.
▲** For that matter, the fact that she was cast could be considered an [[Inverted Trope|inversion of this trope]]: the original script for the miniseries described Starbuck as being in her thirties. Katee was 22 when she tried out for the part and eventually got it, despite initial objections from the casting directors that she was too young.
* ''[[Firefly]]'' has twenty-year-old [[Jewel Staite]] playing Kaylee, who is implied to be older than 17-year-old River (played by [[Summer Glau]], who IRL was a year older than Jewel).
** There's also a 27-year-old [[Sean Maher]] playing Simon, who's around 25, going by the age of the child actor who portrayed a young Simon.
